No one expects you to remember what everyone carries. However, you seem to ASSUME most here on a "Concealed Carry" themed forum do not actually carry, which is pretty damn laughable.

I said I was pretty confident I could. There's always a chance I couldn't, so I didn't make that absolute statement. Yes, it's unlikely we'll ever meet in person.
"You want to define "enlightened shooter" - and say I'm not one." Well, lets resolve whether you are or not now.
1. Shoot one handed on the move making COM hits, flat out running, not duckwalking?
2. Know how to shoot threat focused below eye level out to 30 feet and make COM hits
All the "enlightened" people I know can perform the two above all day long and nearly a dozen more skills. There's enlightened [ and there's many here who are ] and then there's the common pistolero who uses their sights for everything but get off distances as you have mentioned.
"I'll define "doing it right" and your score sounds deficient." So what grade of deficiency would you assign me. C-; D; D-? Fail?
I can live with your scoring system whatever you assign me on your scale of deficiency.What course of fire are you thinking of when you decide a firearm isn't efficient enough? Police qualification course; IPSC qualification course? IDPA qualification course? The qualification standard at Front sight? Gunsite? Chuck Taylors master rating course of fire? Other courses of fire you're aware of that I haven't listed? I ask only because I've qualified with a snub on two police qualification courses in the past.

I never said I carried one. Maybe I do around my house, But Never out in PUBLIC.
Guns are dangerous and nobody needs a gun that shoots 300 CLIPS A MINUTE according to my President the firearms expert.
Even if I did carry a gun, how would I hide the one my President says I don't need?

Well; that’d be your loss of a potential excellent training opportunity, though the FoF training has been for TFP alumni only. It‘d be a bit much for newbies.

Let me reference my post above in reply to what I defined as "doing it right"
I assume (and I'm likely right) that 25-50% on forum would be at C
They have a gun that they carry when going to an area of perceived greater threat, in that example its the Glock 19 and maybe the snub / LCP as a "back-up".
Otherwise for a quick trip to the store, out to eat, walking the dog, they would just carry the snub / LCP where they perceive low anticipated threat.
I am specifically excluding work as dress requirement for work may hamper what one would carry.
Its not that I assume that most don't carry, its just likely 25-50% are willing to settle for "better than nothing" when they otherwise don't have to; which is C average. I wish I was wrong, but I'm probably not. I futilely (but not naively) encourage striving to carry B (the "bad area" gun) everywhere legal whenever possible. Of course most can (and do) ignore my suggestion, which I suppose is "pretty damn laughable".
He was willing to listen to me disagree with him and he didn't shoot or stab me, so I have to agree.

I think the issue here is that you are new to the forum... and barge in with your expertise while assuming and implying we're a bunch of noobs (who are just so lucky that you showed up with your brilliance).
The collective expertise and experience that has been here on this forum, BEFORE you arrived, is nothing short of stunning. Seriously. Some REAL experts here. A little humility goes a long way for new members on most forums.

There are so many options and possibilities in an active shooter scenario that it's impossible to say that moving into the school with LE there would be "falling on your sword."
There was a parent that was handcuffed and released and still went into the school to get her kid out by going where LE was not at the moment. She didn't fall on any sword.
And unless you have children, you cannot make any determination about what you would do. Yes, I would die doing what I believe is possible to save my children. No questions asked. Jumping off a 500 foot cliff to rocky bottom is sure death and my child would not survive. So there is no chance of saving them. It's only recovery at that point. But jumping off a 500 foot cliff into water would give a chance of survival and there for me jumping to possibly save my child.
Everything is a calculated risk. Saving my child is something I will attempt even with the odds stacked against me if there is a chance I can save them. Living to tell the tale is not a requirement if my actions save my child.
